“Swapped out the fins on my 6’10 for some MR’s. Works so good in fun waves, holds a line and carves on a dime.”
The Chopper is a super versatile shape – it’s got the volume and length to pick up kneehigh waves or to get an early takeoff in well overhead surf.
The design has a bit of volume forward and a low entry rocker so it has a nice forward trim feel on an open face or in small conditions. There’s a nice bit of foam under your chest making it paddle well without feeling big and corky.
In the tail of the board, the more modern refinement on a classic style egg shows – the pulled in tail combined with a low rail, single to double concave and smooth exit rocker makes this unexpectedly lively when surfed from the tail.
It has a 2+1 fin set up and can be ridden as 2+1, single or twin.
Fin(s) included: None.
Construction TEC
Torq Epoxy Composite offers performance shapes in our vacuum epoxy layup. Vacuum epoxy uses a hand lay-up process, with a vacuum bonding process to bind the fiber to the board and remove excess resin. We have a few tricks in the vacuum process that keeps the resin content at a much better level than can usually be achieved.
What are the benefits?
We can add extra layers of fiber while keeping the overall weight down – our shortboards have 18oz of fiber on the deck and 10oz on the base – approximately double of the fiber found on most boards of the same weight.
The result is lightweight AND durability. The weight is similar to a PU but we have a lot more fiber and more layers to reinforce the rail.
How do they surf?
The performance is very direct – TEC has an immediate response that is especially good in smaller or weaker waves. In larger waves the advantage is they are a lot less likely to break.
If you’re used to PU they feel quick at first. After a few surfs, your old PU will feel very slow!
Our team rider’s report their boards outlasting their previous boards by around 2-4 times longer.
A quick note about our photos!
We use a mix of official brand images and real-life shots from our warehouse to help you make an informed decision.
That said, what you see might differ slightly from what you receive — simply because we can't photograph every possible variation.
For example, a photo might show a 6'2 board with Futures fin boxes, while you've selected a 5'10 with FCS II. Don’t worry — you’ll get exactly what you ordered.
Sometimes, small details like the logo, its placement or overall colour tones can vary slightly depending on the production batch, camera, lighting, or even your screen settings.
These are always only minor differences, and in most cases, the photos are spot on - but we totally get that buying online can feel tricky. If you ever want more details, just drop us a message — we're happy to help!
